Product Description:
Discover How to Design, Build, and Optimize Customized Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits for a Wide Variety of Uses
Both inspirational and practical, ASIC Design in the Silicon Sandbox offers electronics engineers a hands-on guide to mixed-signal circuits and layouts. The book provides a detailed roadmap for designing and building custom circuits that are optimized for target devices, providing enhanced functionality and lowered cost in finished products.
Written by circuit design expert Keith Elliott Barr, this complete resource covers everything from design and optimization methods to standard cell layouts to packaging and testing. Readers will find easy-to-apply information on peripheral circuits; specialty logic structures and memory; logic, binary mathematics, and processing; converters and switched-capacitor techniques; and much more. Filled with hundreds of helpful illustrations, ASIC Design in the Silicon Sandbox features:

• A wealth of full-color standard cell layouts
• Multiple approaches to amplifier, oscillator, bandgap, and other analog functions
• Down-to-earth information on integrated circuit fabrication costs
• Real-world advice on designing and optimizing custom integrated circuits
• Practical examples of how to think through new design concepts
• Step-by-step guidance on entering the fabless semiconductor industry

Inside This Cutting-Edge IC Design Reference
• The Sandbox • Fabs and Processes • Economics • Design Tools • Standard Cell Design • Peripheral Circuits • Specialty Logic Structures and Memory • Logic, Binary Mathematics, and Processing • Analog Circuits: Amplifiers • The Bandgap Reference • Oscillators, Phase Locked Loops, and RF • Converts and Switched-Capacitor Techniques • Packaging and Testing • Odds and Ends


Summary: In depth yet practical, up-to-date (2007), and wide coverage. Must buy!
Rating: 5
Highly recommended for readers from analog/mix-signal design engineers, system planners, project managers, to Semicon industry analyst...

This relatively thin book (<400 pages) is full of contents, obviously resulting from many years of analog design experience (and the author give them out without any reservations). It includes engineering details like fully diff amp designs for sigma delta conversion, simulation techniques of a high multiplication ratio PLL, or serial-addressing RAM array. For project managers (and boss), "Sandbox" has useful and up-to-date materials like price info of typical wafer and photo-mask sets (pretty accurate), and some other useful thoughts (especially in chapter 3: Economics).

Last chapter "Odds and Ends" is also so unique: "There are always dangling subjects...which don't fit in anywhere else, so I've reserved this chapter for sweeping up the floor and making use of what I find..." Read that chapter carefully, and you may save 2 - 3 mask sets that may cost tens of hundred thousand dollars.

Summary: For low-noise mix-signal design project reference, "Sandbox" is even more useful than Jacob Baker's book, or Hastings' "art of analog layout". Recommended to read together with Johan Huijsing's design series together.
